Ouch. It's the worst feeling when you do something like that, and know it could have been avoided if you were paying more attention. I was backing out of someones driveway a couple of years ago, and there was a random fence post that ripped off my Impala's side mirror.

I haven't seen too many single hella lights for sale. Hope you get everything taken care of.


Unrelated questions. On your BedRug, did you install the tie downs over the BedRug, or did you just cut slits in it? If you installed over, did the bolts reach fine, or did you have to replace them with longer bolts?

We just got back from my parents and as I was backing inside the garage I'm thinking to myself "How the hell did you do that, there's plenty of room, you IDIOT" lol.

I installed the tie downs first and then cut the rug with a razor blade. Can't even tell.

Ah, it'll buff out!


But on a serious note, that sucks! Best of luck getting that all fixed up for you.

The bed's actually pushed in from the bottom all the way up to the 4x4 logo. Kind of hard to see in this pic. I'm going first thing Tuesday morning to get a estimate.

Sorry for you. My wife did that in an old aerostar we had. Looks like a good reason to get an '09 or '10 with SYNC for hands free calling. Love that option.

Hey John, bring it up to Laria for the estimate, I can do it at home and save ya some cash. I'll make sure theres no 6x6s around. Give me a call, should have seen this honda I just did, college kid thought a space between to yellow poles was bigger than it was. It needed fenders but I took em off and worked em back out so kid don't have to tell parents

I had to buy new Hella tails cause I backed into a plastic trash can when it was -20. Too bad it was the passenger side too otherwise I'd sell you my old/good tail.
